My doctor appointment update

I met with an orthopedic specialist today.(Dr. Whang) I feel so much better having met with him. He said that I don't need to have surgery and that my collar bone will heal on its on. It will just take time. He gave me a new brace too. It is a figure 8 brace that actually supports my shoulder and pulls my shoulder up and back He also gave me a sling to support the weight of my arm. What a difference.  I was so glad I went to him. He took time to explain my x-rays, how my bones will heal and what to expect. He also gave me a time frame of the whole process. It was so reassuring and gave me so much relief.
So, I am scheduled to leave for Romania next Tues. Teri is going with me and will stay with me for 3 weeks. I am so thankful for her willingness to go and help me out. 
Please continue to pray for my healing and that the adoption will happen soon. 
Love,
Debbie
